Michael O’Neill will name his 23-man squad on Saturday, May 28 - the day after Northern Ireland host Belarus in a friendly.

Former players to keep an eye on

Shane Long celebrates scoring for the Republic of Ireland.

Hal Robson-Kanu, who is leaving Reading this summer once his contract expires, should be included in the Wales squad alongside Simon Church.

Matej Vydra, who has now returned to Watford following a loan spell at Madejski Stadium, could be involved for Czech Republic while former favourites Shane Long, Kevin Doyle and Alex Pearce will hope to be named in the Republic of Ireland squad by Martin O’Neill.

Gylfi Sigurdsson’s Iceland are in Group F and Ryan Bertrand, who had a loan spell with Royals in 2009/10, has been included in Roy Hodgson’s provisional England squad.

Another former loanee, Chris Baird, is expected to be involved with a Northern Ireland side who are managed by Michael O'Neill, who had short loan spell with Reading in 1998.
